Ed the Wool

When we’ve looked poor the last few seasons, it’s nearly always coincided with Hendo being out. Which just goes to further the point we’ve needed another top class midfielder to add drive and energy for f***ing ages. I’d say at least 2 and a half seasons. The only thing I can possible criticise Jurgen for is having too much belief in some of the midfielders we’ve got now. That’s what gets him the results that he does when we’re flying ironically, his belief in players drives them to better things. But I think hoping Ox would get over his injuries, that Keita would stop being unreliable and that Elliot was ready to take on the burden of a fuller role are why is undoing us. None of that would be an issue if he’d had better backing and more ambition from the owners. They’re always lurking in the background, pinching pennies and stunting the growth n the field.

Arsenal have Newcastle, Spurs and Utd next three games. We’re about to see what they’re made of.

This is where I am, forever the mathematical optimist. But we need a top class midfielder in asap.

This could be the season. The longer they stick with Lampard the more likely it is I reckon.

f*** sake Leicester.

That Bellingham chat is pretty weird. If that was our player and a manager started waxing lyrical about them, we’d be furious. It’s not Jurgen’s style to be disrespectful, so the only explanation is it’s a done deal!

We need 3 even if Milly does another year.

Liverpool captain lifting the World Cup? Middle England and the Wools will f***ing hate it!

I think I’m open to England winning it on the basis that Kane gets injured in the semi and Hendo gets to lift it. It’d boil loads of piss as well.

God that’s good

Re Mbappe. Punchable, Manc face. Conflicting.

Sounds like a cough up or get stuffed tactic.

I don't think anyone has looked really good yet. Maybe Spain and France but they're beatable.

Trent is at is as well now. I have a good feeling about this. Have come to the forum so someone can piss on my chips.

I saw a new one on Skyscraper city recently and though of Jarg

Great to see a few stories about Hendo being Bellingham’s bezzie on England duty. Yes, Jordan, yes.

Brutal

I'd be bloody delighted with him. We still need a couple more in the summer though.

'Just when I thought I was out....'

The 80-81 season was when I really got obsessed with the reds. He played in one of the charity matches at Anfield about 10 or 15 years ago I think and I was there. Great player, great muzzy.

Hard not to think this isn’t about FSG stuffing as much cash in their own pockets as they can before they f*** off. Can’t afford 150m on Bellingham but will be able to buy 3bn’s worth of yacht. Carpet baggers. The game is getting a bit tougher now so they’re cashing in their chips. Wonder if the decision to sell was triggered because the results were suggesting possibly not finishing in the top 4?

If he isn't a bell end. There's always a good chance that billionaires are.

Interesting the Glazers choose now to sell. Presumably a lot of the ne'er do wells that are in for us will be in for them as well.
